This sword is a commission I got from Windlass Steelcrafts in the fall of 2022. I had been looking for a Windlass Loiten sword, Type O with damascus blade for a few years. Of course, like several old Windlass models, it was nowhere to be found. I then contacted one of the managers at Windlass and managed to order a new Loiten. This sword has been discontinued since 2005 so I had to provide photos and serial numbers for them to find the molds lol In short, the result is wonderful. I also asked for a more attractive and comfortable leather grip ... such as the Maldon from the Battlecry Series. And it was also factory sharpened. They provided me with a black scabbard but I wasn't sure of the look. So I brought in a scabbard from Darksword Armory. Thank you Yuvraj Windlass and Eyal Azerad! I wanted to show you the amazing result :) ... YES, I know they should bring back this model to life...

Cool sword! Didn't know you could commission Windlass for old discontinued models - do you think this could work with other discontinued models from Windlass too?

Forgive me, I like the Viking swords but the arming swords are the actual favorite - So you can contact Windlass and possibly commission something they no longer carry? I wasn't aware that this might be possible. Is there any particular person to contact? Thanks for the information and your sword is a beauty -- Also, remember a lot of the Vikings scabbards were covered in fur. I would think three or four overlapping rabbit skins would give the look you want and then trim it at the top with a band of leather--

Glad you got the sword you wanted, Barahir. Pretty awesome of Windlass to resurrect an old model like that. As others have already asked, how does one go about doing this? Who do we contact? Any details you could give on the process would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Sharp blades are good to have, if Shire-folk go walking, east, south, far away into dark and danger.
